$7k is a bit much, but it is a roots type with new manifold and everything. $7k is cheap for a viper!!
and now another for $10k

I guess this Roots type supercharger will solve the lack of low-end torque that the Viper suffers from

Yes the viper feels sluggish of the line. This would remedy it.

actually the viper is geared really high and people do complain about it being hard to launch from a stand still. A very common mod is changing out the rear end gear for a lower overall ratio.

Wow, I would think that price is pretty cheap considering a hood is almost $10K or so.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely." And having lots of money don't hurt either.
